Spongy Hair style
Midterm Project
Shiu Feng, CHENG
ICM, Fall 2005

Description:
My idea is very simple.
I went to the east village because I tried to prepare for the Halloween with a wig. After I wore a jumbo wig and my friend wanted to take a picture for me but the sales man didn't allow. At that day, I decided to have a virtual wig in Processing.

Steps:
  • Read the image from iSight .
  • Copy the image which catched by iSight.
  • Create the wig element .
  • Figure out how to spring the wig element.
  • Figure out how to connect the sound input value with the wig.
  • Generate and change the wig's color with random number from Sonia.

    Diagrams / Sketches / Links
  • I modify the code form Sonia's website.
  • I also find this sample code from Processing's reference.

    Challenges:
  • How does the "springs" works?
  • How to change the movement with the volume.
  • How to capture the secnd image and show the picture on the screen.
  • How to generate the wig with sound.

    Click the mouse to take a snapshot and make noise to change the wig's color.
